BUG: C 6.0 /G1 Option Puts .286 Specifier in Assembly Listings

Q65331

6.00 | 6.00 | 1.00 1.50 1.51 MS-DOS | OS/2 | WINDOWS kbtool ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - The C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), included with: - Microsoft C for MS-DOS and OS/2, version 6.0 - Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.5, and 1.51 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When using the Microsoft C Compiler version 6.0 or Visual C++ version 1.0 to generate an assembly listing with the /Fa or /Fc option, .286 and .287 processor specifiers are incorrectly inserted when the /G1 option is specified. /G1 should produce .8087 processor code. This can be seen be compiling the sample code below and viewing the .COD file generated by /Fc (which is also shown below). As a workaround, /G0 may be used instead of /G1. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in C version 6.0a, but reappeared in Visual C++ version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. MORE INFORMATION ================ Sample Code ----------- /* Compile options needed: /G1 /Fc */ void main (void) { int a; a = 25; } .COD File Generated ------------------- ; Static Name Aliases ; TITLE test.c .286p ; Should be blank line .287 ; Should be .8087 INCLUDELIB SLIBCE _TEXT SEGMENT WORD PUBLIC 'CODE' _TEXT ENDS _DATA SEGMENT WORD PUBLIC 'DATA' _DATA ENDS Additional reference words: 1.00 1.50 6.00 8.00 8.00c KBCategory: kbtool kbbuglist KBSubcategory: CLIss
